Answer 1

Answer:

1) The tribal societies did not follow the caste rules laid down by the Brahmas. ... Land was owned by the whole tribe. They had a distinct culture of their own and they wanted no one to interfere in it. Each tribal group had its own customs, rituals and beliefs.

2) Tribal revolts in British India and the princely states

But under the Act all members of a designated tribe were considered criminals, even if they had never committed a crime, which led to widespread social stigmatization. Another major change dealt with forest policies and tribal land displacement.

3) Missionaries have the authority to preach the Christian faith (and sometimes to administer sacraments), and provide humanitarian aid. Christian doctrines (such as the "Doctrine of Love" professed by many missions) permit the provision of aid without requiring religious conversion.

4) Tribal movements or rebellions or uprising in India were inspired by revolutionary tendencies. They wanted to make use of the situation to fight and eliminate evils and ill-tendencies that existed in the contemporary tribal society.

5) The Kol uprising, Kol rebellion, also known in British records as the Kol mutiny was a revolt of the adivasi Kol people of Chhota Nagpur during 1829-1839 as a reaction to economic exploitation brought on by the systems of land tenure and administration that had been introduced by the East India Company.

6)The Anglo-Khasi War was part of the independence struggle between the Khasi people and the British Empire between the years 1829-1833. The war started with Tirot Sing's attack on a British garrison that disobeyed orders of this Khasi king to stop a road construction project through the Khasi Hills.
